Things like EG's policy will only discourage players from going to Korea as their clans will be negatively affected by such events. I think overall it shows a lack of support for foreign E-sports and that's a shame. We should all be in the same boat and helping each other out. | ||

Since no European team issued this concern other than Team Liquid, we did not feel it appropriate to impose the rule on everyone which would just further complicate scheduling and broadcasting. Additionally, it should be noted that our ruleset did and does allow teams to play on either BattleNet region if both teams agree upon it. ...oh. Well, that seems reasonable. And I say that as a TL fan. Organiser makes the rules, not worth it to accomodate one team if it means complicating it for the other 7 teams. Lineup is great, but MYM will get their asses kicked. I actually regard Empire more highly (FXO has a fantastic top 3 as well but not enough depth), but that may be just me!  | ||

im sure if this was the case from a european team league tournament, this factor wouldnt be such a big deal but hey.. it comes down to blaming EG for rules that they think fit a tournament and give it the most validity. | ||

I'd rather they just played a reverse race game if they HAVE to throw a "fun" game in there, at least most of the players will have more experience playing with their offrace than with their designated 2v2 partner. Step 1) Realize that there has been 1v1 tournaments with a lot of games in the 8-14 minutes range Step 2) Realize that Blizzard maps suck. Step 3) Play on different maps | ||

- EG run a tournament which will make the company money (I assume) - Their own team is entering - They know they're probably the strongest North American Team - They tilt the advantage slightly in their own favor by offering strong European teams slightly higher Latency when playing North Americans . - They win the tournament and not only do they make money, but their team also takes home the prize pool. If this is definitely wrong I apologize (for making such a nasty accusation), but from a skeptics view point this is what it looks like... | ||

Think before you type something so stupid. Everyone, including EG, knows that the tournament would benefit from having TL in it, this just causes a lot of logistical problems for running a tourney. Some of you people are ridiculous. | ||

Moonglade, Sheth, qxc, Moonan... and Optikzero I guess? Good lineup, if a bit light on Protoss. Maybe FXO will expand their lineup with a heavy hitting Protoss in the future. Man, there's so many good teams out there ;_; Needs to be a 10 (12, 14, 16) league next time. :p | ||

No one has discussed this in this thread before and the large majority of posts certainly don't mention Team Liquid missing. | ||

Sadly though this tournament is hosted by an NA team and they want to give their team the best chance to win, why else would they have 2v2 and ace match? I agree with TL that there should be a fair solution to the lag issues, but this is really not a viable solution at least for a NA clan league and this really isn't the right place to bring it up. TL still has ret / TLO / Tyler that aren't in Korea at the moment, so they would be able to play in this tournament without any Korean players. Playing on Korea just for a few matches in the tournament would be such a HUGE disadvantage, none of your opponents will ever have experienced the lag, while you guys do it regularly and it is a completely unreasonable solution. It would definitely be fair to play on EU for half the games, and that wouldn't bother me one bit. For me the lag is not an issue between EU/NA so I don't think that its a big advantage to play only on NA, although naniwa says that he has noticeable lag on NA so I guess it is different for each player. | ||
